Made a few changes...it definitely works better, but still not sure I'm in love quite yet.

(Added the blizzard I'd forgotten about earlier, too...)

Ouch, it sure looks like that last shot would rattle some teeth.

It looks a lot better. The blizzard is cool, but I'm almost sad that I can't see the details as much as I could without it. The missle hitting the snow like that was nice, really gave a sense of timing, like the split second it took between detonation and the sabre jumping that ravine.

Thanks! Yeah, the blizzard was a very tough call...it's an important story element, though, so I kind of have to stick with it. Otherwise the Joes would just be flying the helicopter to where they're going. :D

The more I look at the transition the more I'm liking it, so I'll probably roll with this...you guys gave some great advice!
